The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Some are happy and some are sad,

Ge Dongqing walked briskly after leaving Lu Siniang's room, and hurried to Jiaomanlou in a dusty manner.

At this time, Jiaomanlou has regained its former glory. Countless big red lanterns emit a dazzling red light, illuminating the entire Jiaomanlou. A group of gorgeous girls are standing at the door with joyful expressions, flirting with the visiting men. From time to time, one or two men are pulled into Jiaomanlou by them to buy wine and fun.

Ge Dongqing is a frequent visitor to Jiaomanlou, and no one in Jiaomanlou doesn't know Ge Dongqing.

When the girls saw that it was the romantic Ge Dongqing who came, they looked at each other and laughed. Then two girls came forward happily and held Ge Dongqing's arms, one on the left and one on the right, as if they had agreed beforehand.

A girl shook Ge Dongqing's arm in a soft and charming voice and said coquettishly: "Master Ge, what do you think of me? I can read and write, and I can write poems and paint. Why don't you take me in as your wife?"

The other girl was shaking Ge Dongqing's arm on the other side, saying in a sly voice, "Master Ge, look at me. I'm better looking than Fu Liu, and I have a better figure than Fu Liu. You can take one or two of them, so why don't you take me in too? You can give me any status you want, I'm not picky."

Ge Dongqing was being held by two beautiful girls, shaking them left and right, unable to get away. He hunched his shoulders, his eyes unsure where to look. "Girls, please let me go. I need to go upstairs."

Hearing this, the girl who boasted about her good looks and figure swung Ge Dongqing's arm even harder. She said half coquettishly and half jokingly, "Master Ge is going to marry Fu Liu home, so why don't you see her anytime? It's a pity for us girls, we have admired you for a long time." The girl straightened her chest and twisted her waist, "Master Ge, look at me, do I have the looks and the figure? Do I look fat where I should be fat, and thin where I should be thin? Look at my chest."

The girl took Ge Dongqing's hand and touched her chest. The soft touch made Ge Dongqing pull his hand back hurriedly, but his hand was firmly grasped by the girl's hand, and the girl was pulling Ge Dongqing's hand down to his waist. "Master Ge, look at my waist. Isn't it thinner than a willow? Master Ge, I am also proficient in music. Would you like to sit in my room for a while? I will play a song for you to entertain you."

Ge Dongqing said in a panic: "Next time, next time."

Another girl said, "Master Ge, next time you do something, just do it this time. Let us sisters serve you well."

"That's right, let's go, Lord Ge." The girl's voice was like a hook that made Ge Dongqing shiver.

The two girls sang in unison and pulled Ge Dongqing into their room. When they reached the door and were about to go in, they suddenly heard a "clang" sound and Fu Liu's door opened. Fu Liu stood there like a ghost, wearing a gauze dress and a gauze hat. She no longer had the fairy-like posture of standing on the windowsill with fluttering sleeves. Now she had an inappropriate and weird outfit that made people instantly remember her dog-bitten hair and pig-headed face.

Ge Dongqing quickly shook off the two girls and walked towards Fu Liu with a smile, his hand naturally placed on Lu Siniang's belly.

Fu Liu glared fiercely at the two girls who pulled Ge Dongqing into the room. The two girls couldn't see Fu Liu's eyes at all. Besides, this person would soon leave Jiaomanlou, and she was no longer the top star here. What reason did they have to give in to her?

"Some people, even if they marry into a wealthy family, can't change the fact that they are the laughing stock of Jiao Man Lou. Humph, ugly."

After saying this, the two girls swaggered downstairs to solicit customers, not taking Fu Liu seriously at all.

"Lord Ge, look, even these people are starting to look at me, Fu Liu." As she said this, Fu Liu began to sob.

Ge Dongqing pulled her into the house and said, "Why bother arguing with them? Tomorrow you will be a member of the Ge Mansion. Let's see who dares to bully you."

Fu Liu stopped crying and said, "Master Ge, have you made an agreement with Lu Si Niang?"

"It's settled, it's settled. If everyone makes a concession, the matter will be settled. Although Si Niang is rude, she is reasonable and agrees to let you marry into the family tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Isn't that too hasty? Nothing has been prepared yet." Fu Liu was obviously unhappy. She wanted a wedding with a grand ceremony and loud drums and gongs.

Ge Dongqing said in a cheerful tone, "Well! What's there to prepare? The Ge Mansion has everything. Just bring your bedding."

Fu Liu immediately shook off Ge Dongqing's hand and stood in the middle of the room. "What do you mean by just bringing your bedding? Although I, Fu Liu, cannot marry you formally like your wife and have you carry me in a sedan chair, there must be an ordinary sedan chair to pick me up. Are you going to let me walk to your house, Master Ge? Don't forget, I'm pregnant with your child."

Ge Dongqing looked at Fu Liu's belly and hit his head twice. Lu Si Niang was not someone to be trifled with, and Fu Liu was even more unacceptable. This woman was pregnant with the offspring of his old Ge family. "Of course I can't let you walk. I'll have someone drive a carriage to pick you up tomorrow."

Fu Liu sat down on the chair and said angrily, "I won't agree. I'm the top prostitute in Jiao Man Lou, and I'm pregnant with your Lord Ge's child. I can't stand this kind of injustice."

Ge Dongqing stepped forward and tried to comfort her carefully, "I don't want to either, but every family has its own rules, and I can't break them!"

Fu Liu pressed on, "Where did this rule come from? It was Lu Si Niang who told me to roll up my bedding and move in, right? She was the one who set this rule for me, wasn't she?"

"Fu Liu, the Ge Mansion is so huge that it cannot be without rules. Lu Si Niang is in charge of all matters at home. I have put a lot of effort into convincing her to let you marry as a concubine. If you break the rules, I am afraid all my efforts will be in vain."

"In the final analysis, Lord Ge is afraid of Lu Si Niang."

"What can I do? She is just a rough person, and the whip in her hand is sharper than a knife. Look at my hand." There were two whip marks side by side on Ge Dongqing's hand, which were all the masterpieces of Lu Siniang.

"Master Ge, do you want to keep her in your house like this?"

"What can I do? The Emperor arranged the marriage, how dare I touch her? I have no way to divorce her now, so you just have to bear with it for now. When the Emperor is pleased, I will make you my equal wife."

"Then when? Didn't you say the emperor asked you to take a month's leave at home?"
